Denis Kimathi took it upon himself to build a makeshift bridge in East Igoji Ward, Imenti South Constituency.
Kimathi said that a student raised concerns about their struggles while crossing River Ncheigi to and from school.
Having used the same path while studying at Karoe Day Secondary School between 2009 and 2012, he knew it was time to do something for the younger generation. Kimathi’s wife, Caroline Mukami, celebrated her hubby’s efforts, saying he is a blessing to the community.
He bought wood offcuts and logs and hired five men to assist him in constructing the makeshift bridge.
Kulikuwa kunatereza tu. Wengine wanaanguka ndani ya maji wakiruka. Kukinyesha na maji yawe mengi, inabidi walimu na wanafunzi watafute a long route ndio waweze kwenda shule. Walimu na wanafunzi wa Ncheigi Primary School pia wanatumia hiyo route.”
“Niliamua nichukue kama responsibility yangu. Hatujarequest leaders watusaidie kuhusu hiyo daraja, but they know. Vitu za siasa ukizingojea, zinaweza take time,” Kimathi added.
